-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Plus I mask "x86" only in portage because says "masked by: missing keyword" while emerging, it means that the packages isn't available for your architecture yet, i.e. you are running x86_64 and the package has for instance "x86" keyword only. If you really need that package, then you can try: echo "category/package x86 ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords to override it for package in a category. (Note: I've used the unstable "~x86" since the rest of Sabayon is running with unstable keywords anyway). As Gentoo is source based there's good chance of package compiling and working without modifications.
2nd solution is to emerge autounmask and use it for every single package 3nd remove packages not familiar how they work 4nd the book says : Invalid method (DO NOT USE) ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge gnome-extra/gdesklets-core , so this has to be done x86 any way, 5nd Usage: flagedit <atom> -- +<keyword>, for example flagedit dev-util/libconf -- +~x86 >> >> When I try an emerge --pv world I get a lot of blocked packages: >> >> ....snipped... >> [ebuild U ] sys-apps/portage-2.1.4.1 [2.1.3.4-r1] USE="-build -doc >> -epydoc (-selinux)" LINGUAS="-pl*" 361 kB [0] >> *** Portage will stop merging at this point and reload itself, >> then resume the merge. >> [ebuild U ] app-shells/bash-3.2_p33 [3.2_p15-r1] USE="nls -afs >> -bashlogger -plugins% -vanilla" 2,564 kB [0] >> [blocks B ] media-libs/libdts (is blocking >> media-libs/libdca-0.0.5) [blocks B ] <sys-fs/udev-115-r1 (is >> blocking sys-fs/device- mapper-1.02.22-r5) >> [blocks B ] <sys-apps/portage-2.1.4_rc1 (is blocking >> app-shells/bash- 3.2_p33) >> [blocks B ] kde-base/ksync (is blocking >> kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.8-r10) [blocks B ] >> dev-util/portatosourceview (is blocking app-portage/portato- 0.8.6.2) >> [blocks B ] <sys-fs/device-mapper-1.02.19-r1 (is blocking >> sys-fs/udev-118-r2) >> [blocks B ] sys-apps/setarch (is blocking >> sys-apps/util-linux-2.13.1) [blocks B ] sys-apps/mktemp (is >> blocking sys-apps/coreutils-6.10-r1) [blocks B ] >> <media-libs/gst-plugins-ugly-0.10.6 (is blocking >> media-libs/gstreamer-0.10.17) [blocks B ] >> <sys-apps/baselayout-2.0.0_rc (is blocking sys-apps/makedev- 3.23.1) >> [blocks B ] sys-process/schedutils (is blocking sys-apps/util- >> linux-2.13.1) >> [blocks B ] app-crypt/libgssapi (is blocking >> net-libs/libgssglue-0.1) [blocks B ] >=sys-apps/coreutils-6.10 >> (is blocking sys-apps/mktemp-1.5) >> >> Total: 616 packages (569 upgrades, 5 downgrades, 33 new, 9 in new >> slots, 13 blocks), Size of downloads: 2,090,644 kB >> Fetch Restriction: 1 package (1 unsatisfied) >> Portage tree and overlays: >> [0] /usr/portage >> [1] /usr/portage/local/layman/sabayon >> >> >> What can be done to resolve these problems so I can bring my system >> up to date. >> Thank you, >> Bob > > Well first off setarch was replaced with util-linux, so you can nuke > setarch.
